Sport-Brella Umbrella - Portable Sun and Weather Shelter

Product Information

Whether you are playing sport or cheering on from the sideline it can get pretty hot when you’re out in the sun for a prolonged period of time. To find the best beach umbrella for you and your family, we real-world tested over 20 options on the beaches and lakes of Florida, New York, and New Jersey. While it is far from perfect, this beach chair is suitable for those looking for an all-in-one beach gear investment. Many of the umbrellas we love have additional features to add to the look or convenience of the product.

All in all, after multiple uses (10X or more) of the Sport-Brella at the beach, we have concluded that this is definitely a great investment. When erected the umbrella is a whopping 8 feet wide and folds down to 54×4 inches and weighs in at 9 pounds. Then, throughout the day, we noted the umbrella's performance, including how it stood up to high winds.

These guides inform you on what you should be looking for and the science that backs up quality suncare products. In terms of wind resistance, we found that this option did not hold up well on extremely windy beach days. For a stable option that anchors right into the stand, we recommend the Aoxun 7-foot beach umbrella. It is impossible to make the most out of your beach trip when you are worried about damaging your skin and eyesight. Well, you would be surprised to know that it actually folds easily, so packing it is not a problem at all.

HEAVY DUTY AND DURABLE – The universal connector umbrella clamp is strong and secures to many surfaces including beach chairs, sport chairs, strollers, golf bag, or bleachers to protect you from the sun during sporting events. Being able to have a drink right at your fingertips is one of the most important considerations when looking for a beach chair. Other features can increase portability, such as a carrying case or strap, which are great for families who travel a lot or don't live close to a beach. Since the umbrella has four points of adjustment, we were expecting a slightly rickety feeling but so long as the joints were locked into place, it felt solid.Overall, this umbrella feels very sturdy and high quality, especially considering how many different adjustable joints there are for potential vulnerability. Even with a beach chair on our backs and a beach bag in our hands, it was incredibly easy to move around. We tested it out on a windy day, and even without the additional stakes, the tent held up perfectly. All of the umbrellas on this list are made from polyester or Oxford fabric with a high UPF rating, which ensures that harmful UV rays can't seep through and get to your skin.
